Escape the snow & play Sanctuary Ridge Photo submitted by DAB4par on 12/05/2014
Disappointed
Having played here many times I was disappointed to find the conditions had deteriorated so badly. Little grass on fairways and greens even worse.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve, and we are working towards getting things up to par. Thank you for playing Sanctuary Ridge Golf Club. We hope to see you again soon.
More grass can be found in a Walmart parking lot
The good things: hills in Florida, friendly staff and free beer. Everything else is a major disappointment. The tees and fairways were pretty much sand with a few blades of dormant or dead grass mixed in. The greens were painted but did actually have grass and were puttable but not enjoyable. Spoke with a local member and learned that the course is basically on life support and survives due to real estate development covenants that expire in another 7 years. Layout was fine, but chances are you will regret that you spent money to play here.

Save your money!
Save your money! Words can’t describe how horrible this track was. NOTHING was redeemable about this course. If you paid me to play there again I would not. And I played well So this is not a sour gripes post. Very disappointing in all facets. First and last time playing there.

Don’t play Saturday mornings.
I had the earliest tee time possible; 7:02 am. Even though the tee times behind me were not booked on Golfnow, there was a very large group already waiting to play when I arrived prior to sunrise. Apparently they are a men’s league, and they think they own the place. I was in a threesome with nobody playing in front of us. We teed off at sunrise 7:02 and on the 5th hole a staff member drove out to us to tell us the men’s league behind us are complaining about us being slow. First of all they were in twosomes, and after the shock wore off I explained to the staff member that we were currently on a 3 hour pace to finish 18, yes that’s right, a three hour pace, and I wasn’t going to be bullied by running to my golf ball. I paid my 41.00 dollars (which is grossly overpriced for the current disappointing condition of the course itself). For the record, we stepped off the 9th green in 1:39 and finish the round in 3::05 and didn’t change our pace at all despite the complaints. Despite the course being in horrible shape, I would have been happy playing if it weren’t for these men who complaining about our 3 hour round wasn’t fast enough. Completely made it a stressful morning.
Why the staff member followed through with the complaint to us without figuring out himself that we were playing plenty fast is beyond me. Maybe they should block out Golfnow on Saturday mornings and let these guys have the course themselves.
We won’t be back anytime soon...

No grass in the fairway, bumpy greens.
The course is in terrible condition. Super dry, looks like they haven't watered the fairways in years. Just scruffy grass and sand to hit off of. The range so sandy we gave up trying to hit off anything but tees. The staff was friendly, but even at $25 per round it's not worth it. Won't be returning until under new ownership or significant changes.

In Rough Shape
It'd been maybe 7 years since i'd played here and it's really gone downhill. Tee boxes and fairwars and mostly dead and not much grass. Yeah it's winter so I'd expect it to be rougher but there's no way summer will be a lot better. Lots of dirt patches in the fairways. Greens are in a little better shape that the fairways but not a lot and they are hard. No ball marks to repair here. The hills though make this a nice course to play, scenery wise.

Disappointed
I haven’t played this course in years. Always loved it. I drove an hour to play and was deeply disappointed. The fairways had no grass . It was like hitting out of sand all day. Quit after 14 holes because of slow play.

Course conditions
The tee boxes and fairways were threadbare. They need to grow some grass. The greens were better but they also need more grass.

Great layout very poor conditions
‘This course has spectacular views and course layout is great. It has not been taken care of in a long time, A New investor needs to take over and turn the course around hopefully. If you like sight seeing that’s what you’re paying for..

Save your money
Fairways sandy, greens very bumpy & not much grass.
Course layout is nice, lots of hills but, not worth the money.

Great Course Layout
This golf course had a great lay out, but the fairways were so much like a cow pasture, with not much grass. The greens were not the best but putted ok.

Hard Pan
Hard pan lies everywhere. Greens were ok, but a little weedy. Rolled pretty true. No rough to speak of and most lies were on dirt. Needs a reseeding, aerating and a weeding of the bunkers. It’s a great layout and the hilliest course in Central Florida, so improving the place would make it amazing

Course almost unplayable.
The first fairway wasn't a fairway. It looked like the after effects of a mudslide. The greens were disastrous. One of the worst conditioned courses I've played. Would not recommend.
